Facing A Delimma?

Just Pig Out.
 With a MISS Piggy board, and my 8 pin socket adaptation, you can really tune your FF, or pull the pigs and have a regular FF, and not really much more trubbles to go through. It makes the sockets [which if like me, you will use repeatedly] real solid, perfect for the recommended application, MP that is.
 I just retuned mine using two 8k2 emitter to emitter resistors, a couple 5088's for Q's 2a and 2b, Q1 I can't decide between 5088's or a BC109c in the active position.
 FF tuners never had it so good. Well up until a month ago if memory serves. The tunability on these is unparalleled, allowing you to try all kinds of transistors in Q1 without the oversaturation mushiness.
 Yupp, another love letter to Miss Piggy, she lost a few Hfe and is Looking Real Good!!!!!!!!!! [10x ! = best FF ever.
 Input cap blend??? 2k Gain knob Yeahh...don't forget input gain or your guitar volume...re-bias after changing anything in the IC sockets, knob twisting is recommended.
 Start with a big [220k] feedback resistor, and tag another parallel one on it...down to 47k total resistance. Q1's probly fine with the 33k collector resistor, some prefer 330R between collector resistors, I didn't notice alot there, a 100R could be spliced into battery + connection...but I wouldn't mess with all that [this paragraph].
 Reverse polarity protection...personal taste I guess.

Pig technology can be implemented in any FF type build, some might not need it...a small resistor [100ohm] below Q1 smooths things out a bit..See the YAFF at AMZ.
